New Year's Resolution

I met my dear friend at the tasty Salt and Straw ice creamery on 23rd the other day. I love our little chats. One of the things that really took me a back was when we were discussing about negative people in our lives and how easily it is to feed off of that. She then began to explain to me the impact her family's negativity had on her growing up. Her New Year's resolution a few years back was to rid this out of her life by trying not to complain about anything, and whenever a nasty thought came into her head, she would talk herself out of it. So thanks to my dear friend, I am starting my New Year's resolution a little early this year. From here on out, no more complaining for me! Whenever I begin to say something negative I am going to turn it into a positive thought.

Lord, help me to be thankful and blessed for everything that I have been given. Yes, I have my struggles in life, but in comparison to others in this world, they are nothing. Thank you Jesus for all that you have given my family, friends, and I. I lift up this New Year's resolution to you and ask for your support. Hold me accountable for this lifestyle, and help me to be an example for others around me. Use me to serve you with all my heart. Again, thank you Jesus for your constant love and blessings.
